44 044, [On the Right Track]

The wind continued to blow, and Lu Xun sat still, brush in hand.

It's not that he was putting on airs, but because the mental exertion was too great and he was a bit dazed. He needed to adjust.

To be exact, if his left hand hadn't been supporting him against the table, his legs would likely have gone weak on him.

At present, he could level up as he still had a decent amount of experience points. Unfortunately, while leveling up would restore his health and energy to full, it couldn't remedy his mental exhaustion, so he decided not to level up for now.

Besides, he was so drained that he could barely stand. If he broke through to a new rank under these conditions, it would be too suspicious.

After all, a man losing his composure once in a while is nothing to be ashamed of!

Elder Qiu Shui, as the leading figure among the Outer Sect Elders, was perceptive. She noticed that Lu Xun was not in a good state and led him to a nearby spot to rest.
